"Dark humor" enjoyers when my opinion is slightly different from theirs

Heeeey, hat trick! I'm all three!

I'm the living bad dream that wakes Tucker Carlson in a cold sweat.

Oh, Oh, are you also a "welfare queen"? You would be like a sleep paralysis demon.

Does disability count? Oh who are we kidding, ~~Fucker~~ Tucker counts it! I'm atheist and anarchist too, so my mere existsance is his eternal misery. 😂

Does disability count?

Never if you're a middle aged white guy. Then where would Bitcoin and sports gambling advertisers find a target rich environment to fleece?

That's half Tucker's ad revenue

It's actually wild how insecure people get over the subject of veganism. I still browse Facebook as a lifeline back to my friends and family back home, and for some reason my algorithm serves me up pro-meat posts jam packed full of rednecks losing their minds over vegans and making piles of meat and juice their personality. I eat meat myself (albeit in very small quantities compared to before) and I just don't get the insecurity.

Maybe it's being married to a lifelong vegetarian that helps, but man, I've honestly come to enjoy a lot of meat alternatives. Beyond Burgers/Sausages are great. IKEA's plant-based balls are too (their veggie balls still suck ass and just taste like bell peppers). Gardein's supreme chick'n nuggets/fillets and 7-grain tenders are also delicious.

Shit has really come a long way and it's gotten to where larger portions of meat actually rip my intestines apart and give me disgusting bouts of gas and bloating. Basically just down to the occasional fast food burger, chicken quesadillas and seafood. Meat is still really tasty, but the vegans are right. At this point we're just eating it because it tastes good. The longer I go without relying on it, the more fucked up the entire industry becomes to me.

Haven't been in an ikea for years. What's the difference between a plant based ball, and a veggie ball?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Basically veggie balls don't try to look like meat, a vegan meatball does try to look like meat

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Veggie ball is full of pieces of corn, bell pepper, onion, etc. It's colorful inside and out. Tastes heavily of those things too. The plant-based ball resembles a brown meatball in both appearance and consistency, but made entirely with plant-based ingredients. They're awesome on a bun with marinara and mozzarella.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don't know about Ikea, but when I see this distinction it is usually because the item is made of specific vegetables, where as the plant-based is usually textured vegetable protein.

Ah gotcha, I'll look into it as wasn't aware of this!

Anyone still using twitter should be considered far right, there's no excuse to stay in that platform.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Anyone still using twitter should be considered far right,

Changing platforms can be a death sentence for an entrenched artist. Also, Threads is a miserable experience, Mastodon's decentralized nature makes it confusing to navigate (especially for the olds), and BlueSky simply doesn't have enough content to engage people at the same level.

It's ironic, but a big chunk of the trans community is effectively stranded on Twitter purely thanks to decision paralysis. They all want to leave but nobody has enough sway to send them in the same direction.

Maybe if Elon can get himself banned in a few more countries. BlueSky got 3 million brazilian new users practically overnight last week.

As seen with Tumblr decay, and then Twitter, I think proprietary platforms will never be a safe haven por LGBT communities.

Unfortunately some of my favorite lewd anime artists more or less only share there. So it's either use that for the following feed for manually check their tags one by one daily on gallery sites

Apparently lol. I think daniskarma is just looking for a public stoning. Obviously the vast majority of Xitter users are not there to engage in US politics and be placed on the political spectrum.

This is what happens when people circlejerk too much, they make insincere claims like that and get updoots. They've trained themselves to lash out at anyone.and.anything they don't like. Hell, I bet you're getting shit for using Xitter.in other replies... Edit: Yuuuup!

Thawed Caveman is merely holding the moderate views of his era.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why would you stay in that platform you are aware of who owns it and what is he doing with it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Same reason as everybody else: because everybody else is still there. I'm almost alone on my Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, and Tumblr.

Almost no one has ethical ownership as a priority when picking a social media, the deciding factor is always who else is on there. Weirdos like you and me are way ahead of the adoption curve.

I believe that fediverse platforms are superior, they're more structurally resilient and they will outlive Twitter and Reddit and all corporate social media; but that's a bet on the long run.
